"Don't ask me! I don't know either. Perhaps Jiang Bieli and Shui Youlan might know."

Jiang Yunhai shook his head and sighed with sorrow again. "Your mother's killing aura was very intense, and her methods were very vicious, too. As long as anyone provoked her, they would basically be dead or injured. Back then, the entire continent was in complete confusion because of her; and a few Vajra Realm martial experts were nearly killed by her. After getting together with Jiang Bieli, her temperament was much reserved. These were things that many of the famed martial experts knew about.

"In those days, the late Liege Lord favored the eldest heir a little more. Even though Jiang Bieli had elite-cla.s.s talents and intelligence, he was a commoner woman's son. The eldest heir's mother was a princess, and the late Liege Lord had the intention to allow the eldest heir to inherit the position as Western Garrison Liege Lord. Jiang Bieli was extremely anguished and was depressed every day. On the night before the late Liege Lord was going to pa.s.s on his t.i.tle, your mother barged into the eldest heir's mansion by herself and killed hundreds of people before finally killing the eldest heir! The late Liege Lord was furious and cursed your mother as a witch, asking Jiang Bieli to personally kill your mother.

"Jiang Bieli was forced by his Father and was also indignant at the moment, but he actually made a move against your mother. She didn't put up any resistance and allowed Jiang Bieli to inflict severe injuries on her. Jiang Bieli even cursed that your mother was a witch, too. Your mother was heartbroken and had departed for a faraway place. She was pregnant at that time and found a small city to give birth to you. One year later, she went for a trip and brought Xiaonu back before she finally died of depression. You already knew about the things that happened afterward…

"Your mother might look ruthless and never went soft on her enemy, but I knew her well enough that if no one provoked her, she would never go find for trouble. She was a compa.s.sionate person and treated the Liege Lord's residence's maidservants and subordinates with kindness. She was deeply in love with Jiang Bieli and would kill anyone in the world for him. Back when she killed the eldest heir, it was also because she realized that the heir prepared to a.s.sa.s.sinate Jiang Bieli in order to secure his position as the Liege Lord. She didn't expect Jiang Bieli to be so heartless and actually tried to kill her…

"I will never forget how heartbroken and despaired your mother was when Jiang Bieli made his move…

"Your mother had helped Jiang Bieli on many occasions. You know about the event when Jiang Bieli decimated the Great Xia Kingdom's army two decades ago, right? If it wasn't for your mother helping him in the dark, Jiang Bieli would never have won…"

Jiang Yunhai narrated many of the past events softly while his aged eyes were filled with tears. Jiang Yi listened silently and didn't speak of a single word while an exceptional figure of a woman appeared in his mind.

She came from a distant land, was absolutely beautiful, had astounding strength, and was just here in the Stellarsky Continent to sightsee. Such a young and pretty lady, who had plenty of artifacts, naturally attracted the ill-intentions and hara.s.sment from many young masters. She found it frustrating and used her iron-blood methods to tell the world to not come provoking her.

There wasn't a need to explain the latter events. After drawing out the experts behind these young masters, she—alone and had no one to look for—had no choice but to rely on her blade to kill a blood path out, giving herself an impressive reputation. She then met with Jiang Bieli, and the two of them fell in love. She a.s.sumed that she found true love and a man who she could rely on for her life.

She never expected that after helping this man, he actually stabbed her in the back. She, who was pregnant, had to travel the lands with a broken heart and was choking on her own bitter tears. She finally gave birth to a child and became a shattered jade due to depression.

She was a generation prodigy and an absolute beauty. One of the top ten martial experts, Zhuge Qingyun, sighed at his inferiority. Even the continent's no.1 martial expert, Shui Youlan, addressed her as Lady Piaopiao. She was also the nightmare for many—a witch and a demon lady in many people's eyes.

She… was Yi Piaopiao!

Unknowingly, Jiang Yi's vision became blurry from the tears. He felt that his mother didn't get what she deserved, and he was proud to have a mother like this. He felt the heartache because of the bitter hards.h.i.+ps she experienced and the sorrow for her demise.

After a long time…!

Jiang Yi suddenly lifted his head and said, "Grandfather. Where is my mother's grave? I would like to go pay my respects to her."

"En! You should indeed."

Jiang Yunhai wiped off his tears and nodded. "G.o.d is playing a trick on us. Until now, I still have yet to bring you to Madam's grave to pay your respects. But… you are now a criminal of treason in the Divine Martial Kingdom. Is it really a good time to go now?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, "Even if we did it openly, it will not matter. The Divine Martial Kingdom doesn't dare to kill me. We will just pay our respects and leave immediately; it shouldn't be a problem. Furthermore, Ling Yi and the others are here, too. Unless Jiang Bieli and the other Vajra Realm martial experts personally came to deal with us, they have no way to deal with us."

"Alright then!"

Jiang Yunhai muttered for a moment before saying, "Then let us depart immediately. Your mother's grave is at a small town towards the east of Skyplume City."

"Skyplume City?"

Jiang Yi's mouth had this smear of cold intent as he laughed and said, "Just in time. I shall go settle the score with Ma Clan. They have been resting for over a year now and thinking they are rather awesome, huh?

"Ling Yi!"

Jiang Yi yelled out while Ling Yi and the others quickly ran over from over tens of kilometers away. Jiang Yi instructed Ling Yi to get someone to get their accurate location before changing their directions and rushed straight for Skyplume City.

Skyplume City was still bustling as usual and especially at this period of time—as the city was bursting with liveliness, the hottest name for discussion in town was… Jiang Yi!

Jiang Yi was raised up in Skyplume City, and right now, he was the savior of the continent and also the Patrol Envoy of the Azure Dragon Empire. Even though the Divine Martial Kingdom had yet to withdraw their arrest warrant for Jiang Yi, and he was still a criminal of treason, the people of Skyplume City were still proud of Jiang Yi.

The Ma Clan did restore some of their influence. After resting for a year, the Ma Clan went back to Skyplume City, but they remained a low profile, resting just like the Jiang Clan and plotting for a return.

The Ma Clan Head, Ma Kui, had been in high-spirits lately. The Ma Clan married a young lady over to a housekeeper of the Lan Clan in the Saint Spirit Kingdom, striking up good terms with the Lan Clan. They were reselling goods from the Saint Spirit Kingdom to the Divine Martial Kingdom, allowing the Ma Clan to earn a huge profit and giving them enough purple gold to recruit some experts. In just a few more years, the Ma Clan would probably be able to restore their status as one of the five major clans in Skyplume City.

The only thing he was uncomfortable about was that he always could hear the detestable name, Jiang Yi!

Jiang Yi's name was like a malicious spirit that lingered around as he would constantly hear about the great feats that Jiang Yi had done. Ma Kui wasn't worried; as no matter how incredible Jiang Yi was, he was just an individual and also the wanted criminal in the Divine Martial Kingdom. He wouldn't come killing into the Divine Martial Kingdom, right?

"Report!"

A Ma clansman came in and reported on a single knee: "Clan Head, something happened! The Lan Clan sent over information that Jiang Yi went over to the Saint Spirit Kingdom and killed their Young Clan Head, Lan Yu. He even rescued Jiang Yunhai."

"What?"

Ma Kui's expression changed. He knew about the incident when his Ma clansman identified Jiang Yunhai, and he was initially not worried about it. He was delighted instead. Since they made some contribution, the Lan Clan would regard their Ma Clan even more highly, right?

Who would have expected for Jiang Yi to suddenly rush into the Saint Spirit Kingdom? Even rescuing Jiang Yunhai? He had a bad premonition as though something major was going to happen.

"Report…"

Suddenly, another Ma clansman ran in frantically and before he even entered, he already yelled out, "Clan Head, not good! Jiang—Jiang Yi is back! And he is heading towards here!"

"What?"

Ma Kui's expression instantly turned pale. He didn't hesitate to pour out his essence force and shouted thunderously, "All Ma clansmen are to exit the city and find a place to escape to!"

"Swis.h.!.+"

The Ma Clan panicked while countless of them gathered over here. Many Ma clansmen were bewildered and didn't know what happened.

"Are you still able to escape?"

A faint voice echoed, accompanied by an explosion. The walls on two sides of the Ma residences were blown into pieces as a green figure walked in with eleven experts bursting in through the smoke. The green figure quickly fixed his eyes on Ma Kui and snorted. "Ma Clan's Clan Head. Long time no see, do you still recognize me, Jiang Yi?"
